Yardies at Home and a Farrin (part16)

[My4rmylife 0]

its sooo funny.. the kids have been back since Wednesday and it is def DIFFERENT.. (like i had been warning him lol)

after i had finally sat down thursday i told him i missed him and he said i miss u too baby.. just in one day we saw the DRASTIC change in time together, i get tired alot quicker, i guess cuz i am not lounging around, i am always up and doing something or thinking about what i have to do next... and that is just w/ ONE child cuz the other had spent the night at a friends LOL

my kids are quiet more or less so i didn't expect much conversation between them and roger, the youngest didn't talk to him much and when he talked to her she would act all shy or just shake her head, she would go in her room and close the door at times. it was just wierd having to deal w/ roger by herself. the girls are usually always together.. she wouldn't eat the caribbean food as we expected, taylor liked EVERYTHING tho and they both LOVE his chicken, brown stew and curry is their fav..

we played chutes and ladders w/ the kids and then went bowling friday w/ my sister and her hubby.. roger was FANTASTIC!!! he got like 4 strikes and when he didn't get a strike he still ended up knocking all the pins down after the first try.. he fell in love w/ bowling that night LOL

sat was the cookout at my moms.. we played the outdoor games and then family feud (party favorite) we came home and roger, the kids and i went outside our apt to watch fireworks.. they were doing them at the park RIGHT across the st from us so we just took a blanket and enjoyed...

roger had cooked after the kids and i went to church (still praying 4 him to come lol) and after i lounge around w/ the kids.. roger and i went back to the lake and hung out.. he took a video of me turning flips.. can u say HOT MESS!!! lol

as the weekend went on.. i prompted the kids to ask roger stuff instead of me.. like my oldest asked what kind of chicken were we eating, i told her ask roger, he made it.. she was like.. thats ok LOL..they are just shy not rude so its ok.. he is always trying to joke w/ them to make them feel more comfy and i think he is wearing on them ..sunday was real nice..

sounds wonderful..

Sus I had to BOAL @ the 'DJ knocked the strainer' comment! I've had my IUD (sorry if that's TMI) for two months now and the cramping can be pretty rough. I hope my body adjusts after 6 months like my doctor suggested it might. It's still worth not having to remember the pill though.

Ells, I can honestly tell you that my cramping with the IUD was worse than what I ever had without - you eventually adjust to it - it was a small price to pay for the other conveniences. Just be very sure that you get it checked regularly to make sure it's in the right place, lol

uggh.. that doesn't sound nice at all.. i think i would have just had to keep taking the shot of i was still doing BC..

OK my parents 31 st wedding anniversary is the 15 th and i have no idea what to get them any ideas

What about tickets to a show or something that they wouldn't ordinarily do for themselves

yeah but nothing is happeneing here that my parents would want to go to ...

I think i may do a scrapbook for them ... showing from their wedding day and the years in between..

thats a good idea..

Sounds like he is making a huge effort but trying not to overdue it. So far I'm liking his swag Quana...

So not happy about this:

Spirit Airlines To Buy Air Jamaica -Report

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--The owners of discount-carrier Spirit Airlines Inc. will purchase Air Jamaica, renaming the money-losing government-owned carrier Spirit of Jamaica, according to the Jamaica Gleaner.

Indigo Partners and Oaktree Capital have reportedly bought the airline for an undisclosed sum, according to unnamed sources, the newspaper said.

Sources close to the negotiations would only confirm that Trinidadian-owned Caribbean Airlines did not win the bid for Air Jamaica. The Jamaican government wants to privatize the airline.

Funny you mention this when I was watching Fireproof I forget how the phrase went but it was something about listen more and talk less. I think that is my problem as I'm sure you ladies can tell I talk way more than I listen. I think because when something is on my mind I'm so quick to go off to get my point across and when the person is talking back to me I'm so busy thinking of the next thing I'm going to say I'm not concentrating on what my mate has said. My husband used to always tell me "Would you let me talk" my reply back was well if you weren’t' so darn slow with talking maybe I would... Mean I know but that was me. I don’t know after seeing the movie I just for some reason am now seeing marriage being more serious than what I thought.

u know this is one of my fav movies dada.. i think i learned that i should honor the vows i made not just the man i married.. when things started going wrong.. and didn't seem to get better.. maybe i should have tried to initiate some change even tho i didn't feel i was getting anything in return, i did make a vow to love him..

the pastor sunday said.. too many ppl are looking to be in love instead of just loving the one they married.. i don't know how i feel about that comment, i know i am guilty.. i didn't think it should be a CHORE to stay w/ ur spouse, but sometimes maybe it is but its what u promised to do?????

maybe if we would have talked about our feelings more.. sought out counseling..instead i was fed up w/ him and threw my vow out the door.. i might have still decided to divorce even after all the attempts to restore.. but u never know.. believe me no second thoughts here, just throwing thoughts out there LOL.

[dancehallquana 5]

yeah dada.. i am proud of him..

he really likes them and is laughing at them all the time.. steph is a performer and she have been doing all the MJ video routines all weekend.. he have seen the dramatic side too.. one time steph was just CRYING in her room and i ignored her.. she is DRAMA ya'll.. she does alot of stuff for attenton.. she hates when all eyes are not on her.. so i know when something is really wrong w/ her by now.. so anyway.. roger and i were looking at tv and he looked at me.. "steph is crying" i said. "i know."LOL .. after we go back and forth about it, he pushes me up to go check on her LOL...

she couldn't find her bubble gum....

Well after listening to Steve Harvey this morning I think we should follow suit and have a discussion about … Marriage. This weekend I watched Fireproof ...

My sister & I watched Fireproof this weekend when she was twisting my hair. The movie had a good concept, but BOY was that acting sub-par. I already bought Love Dare based on y'all's previous suggestions. I'm only doing it when co-located, so I'll bring it with me when I go to JamRock in 2 weeks, 6 days.

glad to see you two enjoying each other ..

OK my parents 31 st wedding anniversary is the 15 th and i have no idea what to get them any ideas

My parents celebrated their 30th on June 2. We got them gift certificates to fancy restaurants that they wouldn't just go to on their own. Also, similar to your scrapbook idea, I gathered all the pictures I had of the two of them together starting with their wedding. I printed them to a Walgreens near my parents (who are in New Orleans) and my father made a giant photo collage out of them. They displayed it at the anniversary party they threw, where they invited everyone who was in the wedding 30 years ago.

For their 25th, they went to New York, so we got them tickets to see The Color Purple on Broadway. They liked that gift.

I finished Jen Lancaster's "Such a Pretty Fat" on my flight last night... That book was so excellent. Funny & inspirational. Once the plane landed, the first place I went was the grocery store & bought tons of fruit & vegetables. This evening, I'm going to get EA Active, a workout "game" for the Wii.

I'm gonna order all the rest of her books. I felt like this woman IS ME, except a meaner, more curse-y version.

[Shemmy 4]

Thanks again for your help. I thought about you the entire time...glad I made you proud

so shemmy.. u gonna tell u about ur friends drama?? .. i bet ur daughter and damien missed u to pieces...

Naw...she is a former VJer but I'm still mad as hell I missed them more....I was glad to see DC and my family.

Glad things are working out with you, Roger and the girls.

I need to see Fireproof soon.

(((DaDa)))

I tell you Fireproof and the Love Dare changed my whole perspective on whether marriages can really survive in this day in age...

I BELIEVE with out a doubt that my fiance' and I can make this marriage work.

It does help that we both come from families that stayed together and were loving!

But still, society today treats marriage as disposable

If you liked the movie, you will love the book even more...

Now, find a MAN who is open to this philosophy and you are golden!

That's great. My workload has been extremly heavy so I haven't finished but I love her writing skills.
